Nokia Music Store and N-gage apps added, new Welcome screen is more or less useless

Music Player playlists now wrap around when hitting the up key at the top of the list (or down key at the bottom) (finally)

Faster album art display

My problem with music skipping in the player seems to have been caused by a corrupted memory card. Related to the firmware upgrade? Your guess is as good as mine.

From the comments, it also looks like memory, WLAN, GPS, and battery life have been improved. I can’t verify most of these since I don’t run a whole lot of power-hungry apps and rarely use WLAN. And the jury’s still out on battery life.

One minor annoyance: Nokia Conversation doesn’t work correctly with the new firmware:

“Temporarily removed from Nokia Beta Labs. We are investigating the reported SMS sending problems that Conversation may cause to N95 and N95 8GB users (and potentially others). Sorry for inconvenience.”

my bluetooth is working in 10 cm range instead of 10 meter of range. Last few things i’ve done that i update firmware 30.0.015 and change to black casing. Lots of software like hello carbide, accelerometer applications, niime i’ve installed earlier. Anybody have any suggestion about the problem? The problem is from hardware or software?

If you’re using the Nokia Software Updater, it will not unlock your handset – only update the firmware based on your product code. You’ll need to either change your phone’s product code or get a black box and re-flash the firmware. See this post for more details on changing the product code.

Hiya guys. I’m writing from the UK. I’ve just updated my N95 RM-159 to V.30.0.015.
I noticed a few things:
1) The T9 mode isn’t working when texting. It does suggests words but you can’t scroll down for other options.
2) It didn’t unlock the handset for other sim cards.

Nokia has not the right to take back the tracking feature.For me and others was a main reason to buy the phone.I paid for it -I want it back.And no bullshit answers from Nokia that it was promotional for limited time.My friends who didn’t update still have it and laugh at me. I had it for 9 months before update.So some people have it and some not. Come on guys let’s ask for it.
Its useful and we bought it.
Nokia give it back ,your reputation is heart .
Very bad way to make us pay for navigation.The maps are useless now.

installed the firmware v20.firstly noted that it was more stable. doesn’t crash the phone. my phone used to go to a grey screen with all the keypad lights on when using a power hungry app. doesn’t happen now.
battery at over 70% after I had surfed the net and tried nav4all and other such apps for a couple of hours at the least.
Just beautiful! and wish Nokia would have done this earlier.
Oh btw read somewhere that the auto-rotate on camera might not work. anyone heard of this problem? works on mine tho :d.

Everything is working great… i love how they took out the multimedia menu when you went to the mm keys…. simply amazing….

over all speed better.. usually with light usage while at work i’d be at 50% off battery after…i still had full when i left work yesterday….still using it he same amount too…. (good bit of music during the day…and wifi)…

better multitasking…. .. just everything…i think this is where they should have bene when they launched the phone tho…..

RAM, battery, browsing experience and wifi improvements are the top changes I notice.

Now more MEMORY FULL close some applications message… but, to be fair, some applications went down by itself while browsing. This happened before and still happens. It will be nice if we get some message after closing background applications.
